We need your help!

We are always looking for individuals who are currently able to wear contact lenses, are interested in trying contact lenses, or are hopeful contact lenses may solve problems you may be experiencing.

With your help, we can continue to make improvements in these products, and hopefully your ability to see and wear them comfortably, safely, and affordably in the future.

Participate in CORL research

As a participant in our research studies and for providing your thoughts and feedback you will be paid for your time, while you simultaneously gain the opportunity to experience new contact lenses or care products.

Sign-up to participate

By completing a brief questionnaire you will help provide us with your contact information as well as some information about your eyes. From there, the doctors may contact you when they have a study you qualify for, in order to see if you would like to participate.

If you choose not to participate in the study when you are contacted, there is no penalty, and your name will remain in the database for the next study, until you choose to remove it.
